Pro/ENGINEER Downloads

eDrawings for Pro/ENGINEER
eDrawings for Pro/ENGINEER is a free download for the publishing and viewing of Pro/ENGINEER files. For more advanced capabilities, eDrawings Professional for Pro/ENGINEER is available for purchase.

Feature Recognition Tool for Pro/ENGINEER
This plug-in application for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 allows users to replace static geometries in imported 3D Boundary Representation models (IGES, STEP, etc) with parametric features. This plug-in is currently available for 32 bit and 64 bit Windows platforms only.

GRANITE-Based Cross-Release Interoperability (GCRI) for Pro/ENGINEER
GCRI is a plug-in application enabling interoperability between Pro/ENGINEER releases. It allows a Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 or later release user to open, modify and save parts and assemblies created in a more recent release of Pro/ENGINEER. Later release users can bring forward features added to GCRI models in earlier releases and recover the full feature and model definition.

Interface for Rhino in Pro/ENGINEER
This GRANITE plug-in application for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 and later allows users to import native Rhinoceros files (*.3dm) directly into Pro/ENGINEER. This plug-in is available for 32 bit and 64 bit Windows platforms only.

Pro/CONCEPT Try Before You Buy
With Pro/CONCEPT, you can quickly capture your best thinking. Think of it as a combined 2D and 3D digital sketchbook.

Pro/ENGINEER AAX Download
Download the Pro/ENGINEER Advanced Assembly Extension (AAX) Edition.

Pro/ENGINEER Routed Systems Designer Lite
Creates the rich breadth of schematic diagrams required for many disciplines and industries, and are optimized to drive the 3D cable and pipe routing in Pro/ENGINEER. In general, for every package containing Pro/ENGINEER Routed Systems solutions (Pro/PIPING, Pro/CABLING, or Pro/DIAGRAM) Routed Systems Designer Lite, a functionality-limited version, is being provided to customers on active maintenance at no charge.

Mathcad Downloads

Mathcad 30-Day Free Trial Download
Registration form required to obtain download of a 30-day Trial of Mathcad. This Trial version is the same as the full commercial version of Mathcad with the exception that it will expire 30 days after it is installed.

Mathcad Add-In for Microsoft Excel
The Mathcad Add-In for Microsoft Excel lets you add Mathcad calculations and plots to your Excel worksheets with full access to worksheet data. The add-in features a 3D plot wizard, easy mapping between Excel ranges and Mathcad variables, automatic recalculation, and online help.

Mathcad/Pro/ENGINEER Integration for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0
An introduction to enabling predictive engineering by adding Mathcad "function" to Pro/ENGINEER's "form" and "fit".

Mathcad/ANSYS Integration
The Mathcad-Ansys integration allows Mathcad to act as a "plug-in" within Workbench to manage parameters. Engineers can automatically exchange data and calculated values between Mathcad and the Ansys Finite Element Analysis modeling solution, supporting dynamic, live updates to calculations.

Note: Mathcad/ANSYS Integration is not officially supported by PTC.

Mathcad/AutoCAD Integration
This integration provides AutoCAD users an ability to create geometry through rule based or constraint based analysis. Mathcad creates 2D profiles and AutoCAD can be used to render them in 3D, and add these mathematically constructed objects to existing drawings.

Note: Mathcad/AutoCAD Integration is not officially supported by PTC.

Mathcad/LabVIEW Integration
The integration between Mathcad and National Instrument's LabVIEW software allows the automated creation of scripts from Mathcad to drive measurement and automation tasks within LabVIEW.

Note: Mathcad/LabVIEW Integration is not officially supported by PTC.

Mathcad/Microstation Integration
Through the automatic exchange of data between Mathcad and Bentley Microstation software (for building, plant, civil, and geospatial engineering), engineers can achieve a single platform to integrate calculations with results from engineering software applications used to support the entire product/project development process.

Note: Mathcad/Microstation Integration is not officially supported by PTC.

Mathcad/SolidWorks Integration
This integration provides users with an opportunity to combine both products, allowing Solidworks dimensions to drive Mathcad calculations. The results of those calculations can then be sent back to Solidworks to optimize the design.

Note: Mathcad/SolidWorks Integration is not officially supported by PTC.

Mathcad - ESRD's StressCheck Integration
Reduce errors that result from manual transfer of data between applications by automatically exchanging data between Mathcad and ESRD's StressCheck Finite Element Analysis software for Civil and Structural Engineering applications.

Note: Mathcad - ESRD's StressCheck Integration is not officially supported by PTC.

ProductView Downloads

ProductView Express
A plug-in for your Web browser that enables the viewing and manipulation of Pro/ENGINEER parts, assemblies and drawings.
